Sometime ago, I read about people getting caught writing blogs, being put to jail because of whatever they wrote on their blogs. Criticism or whatever. Be it good or bad, cant people have any say to what they think? It seems like there are still certain rules that hinder us from speaking whats in our mind. Don't know if there is anywhere in this world with a 'true' freedom of speech in practise. Or perhaps the phrase 'Freedom of Speech' is not so self-explainatory after all?
There are lots of things that happen around us everyday, but maybe due to its sensitive nature...these things are being 'covered' up either by the people on top. Maybe the intention is good, so that it doesnt lead to any unneccessary unrest among the people or cause any chaotic uprising. The truth hurts sometimes, but who's to say what to contain and what not? Who's to draw the line? ABOUT's blog mentioned about her mom's anger towards the neighbour who happens to be a 'somebody'. Is it true that...when you're a 'somebody'...you can do what others can-NOT.
